Very convenient also to Joe's Stone Crab. 

 

Bob M:  We we ate at Joe’s Stone Crab last year. It was a long wait but very good.

Pretty  sure that it’s staying.

 

Some folks are just in denial

Arrived around 11 tipped two different longshoreman as the first one left our bags at the curb. I like to watch them loaded onto a cart. We tried to get his attention again but were unsuccessful. Another longshoreman came over and took our bags directly to the bag drop.
aThe rooms were ready upon boarding although I found out later that some were told 1:00pm. There weren’t any big changes but I’m ok with that. Matt H pointed out in his video blog that there is a  usb connection on the tv. Is thatnew to this sailing? Dropped our stuff and headed with DH to get his FlowRider waiver and test. Height restrictions for FlowRider in the attached photos. New FlowRider setup, as one of the FR veterans pointed out, had no back aisle. It now goes right to the back wall (recirculating water?).

Shower behind the FlowRider viewing stand looks new. Viewing platform looks like it had a power wash as it has no stains  and has a less smooth feel.
 There’s also a frequent loop about FlowRider safety and technique on the stateroom tv.

Neeny, when you say "there aren't any big changes, but I'm OK with that..." what do you mean?  In the cabin?  If so,, does it look at least freshened up?

It looks clean to me and I veer on the germaphobe side. The Usb is new to me as is that forceful shower head in the bathroom.  I didn’t notice them on Allure or Harmony. The carpet, phone, furniture and bed all look same as I remember.

@Neeny12 Did They Added Restrooms Near The Wave?

No they didn’t but the Wipe Out bar is still there. Handy for DH’s after FlowRider cognac. 😉

Looks really nice. I checked pricing for our cruise in February and it was over $600/night. At that price will have to pass unfortunately.

So the carpet and sofa are the same as when the ship was built?  

 

[Tee & Chilli]

There are a few cabin videos from the past week on periscope.tv 

Many have the same carpet and artwork. There is one video with a tan sofa.

This depends on the cabin - if it's bad enough they'll replace stuff, except cabinetry and bath.

[Neeny12]

A few things I found interesting:

Washing stations near El Loco Fresh

Lovely tiles there too

Ummm not very hygienic serviette dispenser

Diet Coke can from Italy

Teem Club patio

Hot Sauces from El Loco Fresh

Thank you

@Neeny12

Have you been in the solarium yet?  

Have you used your phone to open the stateroom door and change the TV channel?

Have you tried playing the boardwalk games on your phone?

Have you tried X-ray vision?

My son was very happy to see how they extended the flowrider.  This should eliminate some of the hard impacts into the back wall.

Following along......

[molly361]

I read the CC review and they say it seems more crowned that that class of ship has been before.  Have you noticed that?
